From Eruonen: I wonder if his accent is regional or of mixed origin

Maybe some English ringers can comment on any issues they have with his speaking style. As in this country, you have regional accents / dialects that take a while to understand. I remember a trip to England and asking for directions from a truck driver in Yorkshire...I don't think I understood 50% of what he said. I just think Tolkien had a racing mind...too many things bubbling out...and it resulted in hurried speech. I did not care for the "star trek " music effects.... Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..." Dwarves: "Pretty rings..." Men: "Pretty rings..." Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauronís master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded b*****d with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.
